Joel Piroe on Leicester City's four-man transfer list as Foxes show 'strong interest' in Swansea City striker

Leicester City are reportedly showing "strong interest" in Swansea City striker Joel Piroe.

The Telegraph have revealed the Dutchman is one of four names the Foxes are looking at as they begin life back in the Championship.

Relegated last season, Leicester will hope to bounce straight back up to the top flight at the first time of asking and their recruitment targets would certainly help them in their quest.

Tottenham's Harry Winks, Wolves centre-back Conor Coady and Manchester City keeper Zack Steffen are all on the east Midlands side's wanted list, along with Piroe, who they have "strong interest in".

The former PSV man has been linked with the Foxes before, who now have ex-City coach Enzo Maresca in charge.

Piroe's form in the Championship has caught the attention of a number of teams, including sides in the top flight and in Serie A.

Heading into the last year of his contract, Swansea are likely to cash in this summer for fear of losing the striker for free next year.

The 23-year-old spoke about his future last month. saying he was unsure what would happen but admitted the interest was flattering.

"Whether I will stay in Swansea for another year? There is a lot of speculation, but it remains to be seen whether something concrete will happen," he told Eindhovens Dagblad.

"It is nice to hear that clubs are interested. I mainly look at where I can play a lot and continue to take steps as a football player."

Piroe is currently in Spain with the rest of the Swansea squad as new boss Michael Duff puts his players through their paces ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
